A numbered answer

[Twocoda]

I just got finished cleaning up all my rods that i seem to leave all over the house so i was thinking maybe i should build a cool rod holder....then thought hmmmmm i wonder if anyone has any plans for 15 rods....then the wife says ....why do i have 15 rods when i can only hold one at a time? my answer to her was ....cuz there is 30 days in the month ...so im only halfway there....(she displayed a puzzled look and walked away)....

 

Ok now how many rods does everyone own that they use on a regular basis....i do use each and everyone of mine

 

15 is my answer for now

 

 

PS if anyone has any cool plans for a custom rod holder to accomadate 15 i would love to see it

 

I can always build two to keep the wife puzzled

i would have to say around 20 without counting them.......

 

oh wait......forgot about the ice rods

[Guest ThisPlaceSucks]

i've got 6 that are in active use and a bunch of retired greats and broken pieces

[danbouck]

about 15

[steelhead hunter]

20 that get used every year that's not including ice rods and the kids but I don't have a problem do I ???

[backbay]

5 that I use, and a Heddon Pal caster and a South Bend spinning rod that belonged to my dad that I don't use, but will never get rid of.

[Lakeshore]

So far I seem to be in the minority, including the kids, only four... sad to say.

Next year maybe I go up to six.

[Radnine]

Eight, I think.

[gino]

7 active 2 on hold...2 icefishing

[pike slayer]

7 rods, 4 ice rods

[Greencoachdog]

Lessee

 

I have an ultralight for specs and inland lake walleyes

A medium spinning for big lake walleyes and pike (ewww Pike, but hey, ther'e incidental)

A medium heavy baitcaster thats great for jigging whitefish, and when I go for bass

A noodle rod for river bows.

A rigger rod for salmon

and a flyrod for bows

pretty much covers my needs.

I use a stick in winter

[Terry]

I would think 20

 

if my wife reads this, that was an error

I meant to say 10

 

 

 

 

 

 

times 2

[splashhopper]

so far... I have

 

1- 13'ft fenwick for trout float fishing

 

1- 10.5 -- trout and bass

 

1- 6.5' - medium-- bass

 

1- 6.5 - heavy duty - bass

 

1- 7' medium heavy-- bass

 

 

I can see me getting a bait caster real soon too... maybe another heavy duty rod(one piece though) with it by summers end

so... in two short seasons of fishing, I can see I have a mild obsession building already....

i've got a problem too.....

you have a special room don't you

[Jonny]

About 15, and that`s too many.

[Bob]

I don't have the foggiest notion. Is "a whole bunch" a valid answer? Do I have a problem? Nah, the "light of my life" uses them too and every time a new one catches my eye, well I'd best buy a second for her. Same with new lures, there's no way I get only one.

[NAW]

This post is going to get a ton of replies.

 

I have 3 that are always in the boat, and another 5 that are only pulled out when needed (12' tdr, and ice rods).

 

I only replace rods when they break. Don't have enough room in the garage to stock pile rods, with 2 boats, a snowmobile, and countless other toys that my wife thinks are pointless! (what does she know)

[ciceri]

2 soft water, and 2 ice rods.

[Rattletrap2]

I'm thinking about 5 spinning combos and 7 baitcasting combos. There are others, but those are in regular use most years.

Like BackBay, I have my Dad's spinning combo mounted on the wall! That one is special.

[jediangler]

18 including the wife and daughter's.

 

I use about 5 regularly. The rest are once or twice a year rods.

[Victor]

somewhere around 15-20. A float rod, a fly combo, and some more carp rods are on my to-buy list though.
